Spray Tower Apparatus
The experimental set- up of Spray Tower consists of a glass column provided with necessary accessories. It operates on a semi- batch mode. Fine spray nozzle is fitted at the top. Feeds are metered by Rota meters and derived from separate feed tanks. The liquid- liquid interface can be maintained by controlling the flow rate of extract with the help of need leveler provided on Rota meter. Total set-up is housed in a rigid structure. The structure also supports tanks, piping, Rota meters and other unit.
